Oh how sad memories can be
When we held each others hands
And smiled for the world to see
Her laughter echoes in my ears
Her smile still bright in my eyes
Yet she is not here no more
Now this life of mine I despise
I wish she was by my side
Why’d she leave me alone?
She is free of all miseries
Yet her loss has turned me to stone
I recall the times we had
Down by the lake in the park
Sitting by my side, her head on my shoulder
We sat there counting stars in the night dark
Her hand in mine as we walked back
She whispered in my ear
Just two words did she say to me
They still linger “Goodbye dear”
Those words were the last I heard from her
They still linger deep in my heart
Every time I see her face in my dreams
I wake up with a start
She is no more but she is alive
Her memories make me smile when I cry
As long as there remains a beat in my heart
Those memories of her shall never die
I have heard that it rains
When a soul above smiles
So I love the rain like I love you
In the rain my heart flies

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
